If anyone does any research on this visiting "bishop" and his "pastor" wife, the visit did this church no favors. It makes it quite clear that this is just another family business shearing the sheep on at least a weekly basis.

Clergy living off the fat of the flock was a practice perfected by the princely bishops of the Roman Catholic Church and the technique has ironically been developed into a new art form by the most protestant of sects.

Inquisitive

I thought the Presbyterian Church in Shepherdstown was the one for the wayward after their pastor came out in an article saying 'Jesus is only one way, not the way.' Why don't they just pool their resources.

Aren't these people getting a little too old for imaginary friends? Zeus, Jupiter, Horus, Osiris, Rama, Thor, Shiva, Yahweh... who will be the next magical being who either does not exist, or if they do, is indistinguishable from one that does not?

"Hey Hilly, you still bothered by Chik Fillet having an opinion? So sad."

This has been a fun day. I'll answer the above question, "hilly" is indeed still bothered. "Hilly" acts as if someone has a gun to his or her head. "Hilly" must not get out into the world much. In this case "ignorance" is indeed bliss.

I have read about the visiting Bishop and his wife. Maybe it is a matter of misunderstanding on my part. The Bishop seemed to stand for an iron fist, whereas the Ministry Center seems to want the doors to feel open to sinners who want to build their lives toward Christ. So confused.

Traveling sales persons. Profiting from religious pursuit and conviction. That's what I see. Can you say Jim and Tammy Baker? Not sure I will ever trust these types after that issue. But it is only my opinion. We all have those.

I am wondering.. all your comments above are negative. My questions to you all are have you visited New Destiny Ministry Center? Have you met the Pastors? If the answer is NO how can you form an opinion on something you have not experienced or know nothing about. I say you visit the church than form your opinion, the worst that could happen is that people will Love the*****out of you.

No, Major. I'm bothered that gay-hating "Christians" have been so easily hoodwinked into thinking that buying and consuming a greasy chicken sandwich and waffle fries is tantamount to receiving holy communion. They start off ignorant and they just get more so.

All of the talk about growing church membership and "raising churches" all over the world (in a world full of churches) shows how this is all just a business. It's like opening new Chik Fil A's and building a customer base.

The Roman Catholic Mass has been called the "opera for the poor." Now there are as many forms of religious entertainment as there are human tastes.
